Part 33
Purva was responding well today and now they were only waiting for her to gain conscienceness once. Sid and Juhi had decided tomorrow would be the D-Day. They would put Purva through the surgery. Since it was a long one Sid had to make sure that he rests well tonight.
Juhi: Dr Siddhant ..........I think you should call it a day ........today was a fruitful day and tomorrow we have another task at hand. We need to make sure we both rest well.
Sid: Yes !!!
Juhi: especially you It seems like you have slept for days together............
Sid: almost two i guess............but i doubt I would be able to sleep .........
Juhi: can I suggest ......? have a nice meal and pop a sleeping pill and sleep tight ................
Sid just smiled back. Its strange how this person who was a stranger a few hours back could display so much concern. Bidding good bye Sid left from there..............
==========================================================================
Riddhima opened her eyes and she saw Atul standing in front of her with some collegues. She looked disturbed how come there were so many people there ...........She was in one of the meeting rooms which were used during the day.
Atul: Tum theek ho !!!
Riddhima gave a weak smile to assure him she is fine.
Collegue 1: Let her sit down for some more time she will feel better We will leave now so you can rest. I think Atul its best you escort her home.
Atul just nodded. Once all the people had gone Riddhima spoke............ 'Mein yaha kaise ayi'
Atul: Behoos gayi thi ............aur kuch nahi ......
Riddhima tried recollect ............last she knew was she was talking to Atul and Atul telling her Tumhare aur armaan ke beech ki saari baate ....... jo kuch hua woh sab maaloom hai ............she closed her eyes in regret and sat there with her head down. Tears flowing down her eyes.
After a few moments she mustered courage to talk to Atul 'Mein theek hoon !!! Tum ghar jaovo mein taxi leke chali jaoingi.............'
Atul: Itna naatak karne ki zaroorat nahi hai ........... chalo ab
Once in the car Atul started driving towards Riddhima's and armaan's house. Riddhima did not have the courage to object just sat quietly.
The thought was constantly troubling her who all knew. As they were nearing home she finally mustered the courage. Atul ........
But before she could answer Atul parked the car and made a go at her. 'Yaheen jaanana chahati ho na ki kab armaan ne mujhe pataya aur kisko pata hai..............?
Riddhima could not handle his glaring stare She just looked down. Guilty she was and she knew it well.
Atul: Meri aur anjali ki shaadi pehle armaan bachelors party karna chahata tha........ yaad aya....... mein usse uss raat kaise ghar leya tha .........khada bhi nahi ho raha tha woh......................tab nashe ki halat mein usne yeh sab bataya...........celebrate karna chahata tha ki hum dono ne apna pyaar paa liya finally ..............
Images of the past came rushing again 'Tak chukka hu mein tumhe yeh samjhate ki hum ek doosre ko paane ke liye bane hai' 'Tum sirf meri ho ...........' 'accept karo ki tumhare dil mein saaso mein sirf mein hoon''Tum Sid ki kabhi ho hi nahi sakti kyuki tum Sid ki thi hi nahi' 'Tum sirf meri ho aur agar yeh tumne accept nahi kiya toh mein tumse woh accept karvaonga'
Atul: Actually Nahi !!! Celebrate nahi sirf jaatana chahata tha ki kaise usne akir tumhe paa liye ........kitna saacha tha uska pyar ki laut ayi tum uske paas.........
'Tum sirf meri ho sirf mera haq hai tumpar' 'Dekhana chahata tha aur yahi prove karna chahata tha mein apne aap ko Sid ko aur tumhe'
Atul: kabhi Sid ko ...........
'kyu nahi aane diya tha Sid ko apne kareeb ...........pati hone ke bawajood ............' 'Kaise hogi tumhari zindagi tumhara pati koi aur aur tum pyaar kisi aur se karti hoo Riddhima tum aur kisi ke saath par sochti mere baare mein rahogi'
Riddhima screamed as she could not hear further Atul bas please ............crying uncontrollably
Atul: kyu tum dono ko yeh sab karte waqt sharam nahi ayi ........... istamal kiya tumne Sid ka ............. usne tumhara tab saath diya jab sabi ne tumhara saath choda ...........usse shaadi karne ka faisla dono baar tumhara tha.............aur jo tumne kiya uske saath .................you god damn used him ........used him for your motives ............both of you ...............
Riddhima sat there head lowered with shame. Every word that Atul said was true in a way.
Atul waited for Riddhima to alight. He waited for a few moments then reminded Riddhima that they had reached home. 'Riddhima.......ghar'
Riddhima nodded and alighted from the car.
Atul: One more thing ...........jab yeh baate hui tab koi nahi tha..........thankfully party break ho chuki thi ...............aur yeh baat meine kisi ko nahi batayi hai ......... anjali ko bhi nahi ........
Riddhima: Thank you Atul ............I am so.....................
But before she could continue Atul drove off leaving a crumbling Riddhima behind. For a few moments she stood there looking in the direction the car went. Still trying to come to terms.One more relationship which was destroyed.
She turned to go towards her house but somehow did not feel like. armaan and her house.........it never felt like home..............She just turned and left to go to sanjeevani
